The Theocracy (recruitment closed to those posted)

Ah, Cohort+Vow of Poverty=might as well be a PC.

Same thing with a shapechanging/Wildshaping cohort. Then their lack of gear matters for naught.

Are you meaning Warshaper from Complete Warrior? I think wth the Shapeshifting Variant from PHB2 that it coud work really well for a cohort with no worries for gear. It's fairly simple to qualify for, so if your cohort is ECL 8, you could have Shapeshift Druid 4|Warshaper 4. Replace your spontaneous Summon Ally for Spontaneous Rejuvination, you've got a front liner who can heal all and get good reach. Bad thing is you miss out on 4 levels of Druid spells. Just a thought though.

I think with mine, instead of Warmage, I'll go with an Enchanter wizard with PrC Master Specialist.

WarlockLord, you stated that we are obligated by law to fail our mind reading saves, sooooo what happens if we don't?

Hmm, that's an interesting idea. But a VoP Paladin kinda sucks (no weapon or armor). Maybe better for a Monk.

Go-Go Pala-monk! Add in a dash of Kensai, and season with that feat from Comp Adv that combines pal and monk levels for smite + other stuff!
Guaranteed to make your mouth water, and your DM groan in frustrataion!

Actually, don't do that.. I wanna do that... Can I do that?
Oh right, Warlock.. n/m, go ahead.
I'll try something similar to that in another campaign.

Well, I wasn't saying Warshaper, but it definitely works. (I've always enjoyed warshaper). Yeah, a Druid with the shapeshifting variant and Warshaper would kick some serious butt. You'd only want the first 4 lvls of warshaper (lvl 5 is a let down), and then return to Druid.

I was wondering that too.. Whether we let them or not, we're screwed... If we don't, they get mad at us for not letting them. If we do, they know we're heretics...

Damned if ya do, damned if ya don't. You could just keep thinking "Calm blue ocean, calm blue ocean, calm blue ocean", I guess.

Hmmm... I dunno about Kensai though. Paladin + Monk + VoP is an option, especially with the Aescetic Monk feat. I'll have to look at it when I get home.

Ring of Mind Shielding is 8,000gp. I guess they'd probably know you were wearing the ring. That's OK. I have something nice planned for them when they try to read Caul's mind.

I did Warshaper in a gestalt game I was in a while back, and the fast healing was a life-saver. Outside of combat, I healed up in moments. You could get an AoO monkey with that reach and just have them stand back by you and absorb all damage.

Well, what I was thinking, with a telepath and a possible enchanter, we could just mind control those attempting to mind control us. I think that'd peg us as enchanters a little bit more quickly than naught.

We're going to be awfully difficult to find, having the capability to mindwipe or modify memory on people who's seen us / interacted with us. And my character has the ability to detect someone scrying on us as well. This isn't to say we can't be found by any means, but my character has gone out of his way to train for this moment, and has the ability to avoid getting caught.

Very potent in this particular case. I'm unfamiliar with Thrallherd. What book is that in?

 

[Jemal]

Ya know, there's some pretty good Invocations that could couple with that. Hmm, We're turning into a pretty organized group of arcanists, here... kinda scary. (for them... MUAHAHA)

It's a prestige class from the Expanded Psionics Handbook. It's also in the SRD.
